Your tires need balanced or you need a 4 wheel alignment.

As a rule of thumb, when your steering wheel vibrates it is your tires. Take your car to a different wheel balancing place and try again. Let them know that you just had it done but you are still getting the vibrations. You could also have a bad tire. A bubble defect in it, a patch on the tire, an imperfection from the band they band them together with for transport, etc.
If you get the shimmy in the seat when you are driving it is front end alignment problems.

It could be any number of important things. Ball joints tie rod ends. Whipped -out shocks and struts and wheel alignment. If I were you go on line to: Hunter Wheel Balancers and check out the short demonststration on their force wheel balancer. There is a red button to push with your mouse which by entering your zip code will tell who in your area has that exact balancer. I'd honestly have your tires and wheels re-ballanced on this particular machine if all other of the abive suggestions are OK.

usually its a out of balance wheel. dont keep taking your car to the same place for wheel balancing as the guy may not know what he's doing. Also ask if they have a "Road Force Balancer" as these are the best

Tracking out, wheel balancing not been done correctly, steering rack done for, fault on one of the tyres.........all sorts of things!
If your tyres have worn unevenly because they weren't balanced properly before, it could still cause vibration. Are they more worn on the outside than the inside, or vice versa? If so, new tyres may be the only cure. Stop going so fast, anyway!

Rotate your tires and see if that helps,it sounds like an imbalance.You tire shop may not have balanced them properly,rotating the bad tire(s) to the rear may help you isolate the problem,if the vibration stops after rotation,it is probably either imbalance or a bent rim.

You should get a wheel alignment, in addition to the balance.

tires first check air pressure,uneven tire wear is a sign of bad wheel aliment or tire pressure,on a camry its got struts up front that might be bad,tie rod ends off the rack and pin system could be bad too,,,or check balance on wheels good luck
